🌸 Sundae Driver — Week 9 Flower / Week 12 From Seed When the plant decides it’s time… you listen! Another beautiful, crazy, unforgettable week in our Sundae Driver adventure! The tent has been full of aromas, colors, and emotions — and this week brought a little surprise twist. Our Pheno #2, the bold one, the heavy one, decided she couldn’t hold her own weight anymore and literally bowed to gravity. When I arrived, half of her was on the ground, saying: “It’s time, my friend. Harvest me.” And honestly, she was right. Perfect trichomes, perfect colors — it was exactly her moment. So, we harvested her with love, laughter, and respect. Sometimes, nature tells you what to do, and all you can do is listen. We didn’t dry her whole as we usually do — since she broke herself in half, we had to go with a different approach this time. A reminder that every grow has its own personality and surprises. We took it as part of the adventure and had a good laugh about it — because in the end, that’s what growing is: learning, adapting, and enjoying every step. Meanwhile, her sister Pheno #3 is still standing tall and absolutely shining. She’s thriving under the LUMATEK, with her buds swelling beautifully, trichomes sparkling like sugar dust, and her structure holding strong (for now!). 🌱 Nutrients & Environment This week we’re keeping the mix balanced — still using the Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, together with Aptus Regulator and CalMag Boost. Our pH sits nicely around 6.1, EC around 0.7, and the soil is still rich enough to carry the girls through these final stages. Temperatures hover around 28°C, humidity slightly high at 60+, but both phenos have been adapting beautifully. 🌿 About the Harvest For Pheno #2 — the early harvest wasn’t planned, but it turned out perfect. The trichomes were milky with just a few ambers, the aroma intense, and the density incredible. This shows that sometimes the plants truly know best. Her colas were so heavy they couldn’t stand anymore — that’s a good problem to have! 💪 Super Crop & Structure The earlier super crop training clearly paid off — the buds on the bent tops were some of the thickest and frostiest of all. It’s beautiful to see how resilience leads to strength; those stress points turned into power centers for growth. 🧠 What to Expect & What Not to Expect • Expect Pheno #3 to keep maturing beautifully over the next week or two — trichomes are developing wonderfully, and aromas are getting more complex by the day. • Don’t expect her to rush. She’s taking her sweet time, and that’s perfectly fine — every flower deserves her full moment. • Expect me to keep double-checking the branches — after what happened with #2, I’m making sure no more girls decide to “self-harvest” behind my back. 😂 💬 P.S. — About Holding the Weight For those reading this — always support your branches properly during late flower! When the buds get heavy (and believe me, they will), the stems can only handle so much. It’s always better to tie, stake, or net them before nature makes the decision for you. Trust me, it’s a funny story after the fact… but quite the shock when you find half your plant bowing to the floor. 💬 P.P.S. — About Super Cropping & Experimentation For anyone afraid to try new techniques — this is living proof that super cropping works beautifully and that plants are incredibly resilient. Don’t be afraid to experiment, to bend, to learn, and to adapt. Each grow is a new journey, and your plants will always reward your courage with lessons and beauty. 💚 Final Words & Gratitude As always, I want to send a massive thank-you to everyone following this journey — the readers, growers, dreamers, learners, and friends who stop by the diary.

Performed root washing ... a few days and this delight should be put to dry!👍👏🤭🤙😁

A good week's growth, they are drinking more and I've started to feed, and I think they enjoyed the nutes as they clearly stretched over this last 24 hours.

Growth in height has backed off on plant 2, 3, and 4. Plant 2 is at 30 inches, plant 3 coming in at about 28, and plant 4 has hit 34 only 2 inches taller than last week. They're starting to lay on flower weight now and you can definitely tell. Plant 2 has seemed to be maturing slightly faster in terms of bud structure and color however plants 3 and 4 have begun to crystal up and get darker like plant 2 has been. Plant 2 is still taking her sweet time, not much growth. Might be something to look into, she's wicking water just fine just way for behind the others despite popping earlier and growing larger first till she stopped and lost the race back in week 5. She's now poking through the trellis and developing more flowers we shall see what she does. Overall a very exciting week, they're drinking a little more water than last week. Filling my 12 gal res every 5 days now still running the 3 grams per gallon(0.6 tsp/gal or 1 tbs/5gal) of the B1&B2 from FloraFlex. As of right now I've been running about 300-500 par on this tsw2000 at max tent height on 75% wattage. Will crank to 100% in the next couple weeks.

15 - 21 de septiembre Sexta semana de floración

29.09.: Da es sich langsam dem Ende neigt bekommen beide nur noch Wasser zu trinken. Leider ist mir bei näherer Untersuchung der G41 aufgefallen, dass sie im oberen Bereich naher der Lampe Bananen ausgebildet hat. Ich hoffe und vermute, dass noch keine Pollen freigesetzt wurde, allerdings wird es nur eine Frage der Zeit sein, bis ich eine übersehe. Es ist natürlich sehr schwer zu sagen, woran es liegt, aber ich hoffe, dass es nicht noch sehr viel mehr werden. Auf den Blüten sind bisher noch keine braunen Trichome zu erkennen, also brauchen sie noch ein wenig.

Just watering and waiting...🤤 How many days do you think?? Please lmk

Como estáis fumetillas, yo estoy flipando, y es que las flores de estas skunks son como rocas, y no solo lo compactas que están si no que están bastante tricomadas, las 3 a cada cual más , lavamos las raíces y ya estarán solo agua, dejemos que termine de florecer y madurar, tampoco hay prisa, ph controlado temperatura ideal, bajamos algo más la humedad, puede que tengamos que tuitear alguna pero estoy evitándolo, se irá viendo estos días, ya nos veremos esta semana que viene un saludo familia y buenos humos.

01/25/2022 Reppoted one but need bigger pots, developing nice side shoots for plenty of clones. One more week in small pots need to buy new ones

Karibbean Mango looked beautiful this last week. She could've used another week I think, but definitely in a harvestable state. Honestly, when getting the seed, I thought it was more of a sativa, so always double check things, but I think I'm gonna like this one a lot regardless. It's got a tropical end of fruity smell for sure. Really dank smell I could tell from even in veg It was gonna be pretty smelly. But then, when I harvest, I got the full sense of what she's going to be like it had a real intense, not exactly burnt rubber, but in that territory, where I just like sits in your nose. That was from mostly touching the stems when you open the flowers up a little bit it's a sweeter floral, tropical fruit and gas. Harvest went really well with the plants. It's always a little nerve-racking going in there wondering if you're gonna run into anything like budrot or pests you didn't see but this round, nothing to speak of. Which most rounds are but I've had a few issues with some bud rot in some big colas before. Everything looked really clean. No signs of bud rot, no pests in or our of the soil. No powdery mildew. The tent really wasn't even that dirty. I had to clean it after I recommended my 65 gallon pots for my next round and was shocked how clean I got it within a day of having those plants in there growing. This week my main focus was trying to get the temps down a little bit and humidity is low as I could. At the beginning of the week I dropped the lights down a full hour, down to 10/14. Also, the last few days before harvest, my temps were getting above 83 towards the end of the night and cut them off even earlier, so there was a few days they got roughly 9 hours of light last few days. I watered twice this week but the last dry back before cutting them my soil moisture's got around 18%, so pretty dry. I would've like to keep them a little wetter but ambient humidity has been very high. The last few days I managed to get into the 78°F 55% humidity range which I was happy with. Harvesting the four plants took from 8 PM to 4 AM after their night cycle by myself. Each plant taking an hour and a half With very tiny breaks in between. I was on the second plant taking a hanger out to my dry area and I hear a loud shuffle in my mind thought it was the cat at first and then I realized that was too big of a sound to be my cat. Then I thought I was getting robbed or something and then I looked up and it was like a three year old buck about 250 pounds big antlers! We both looked at each other and jump scared, and both took off in opposite directions. It was kind of hilarious, but I was a little spooked after that, so I kinda had to set up a light outside so I could see better and the first few trips after that, I may have grabbed a PVC pipe in my off hand like I was in the game Doom or something lol. I wasn't able to fit all the pictures I took from harvesting. I'll have to add them to my next week after they're dry, of all the plants hanging. It seems like I've got my drying area carved out pretty good for the flowers space I have. Does suck having to move my drum set out for two weeks and freezing in my studio though but better than not having a decent drying space that's for sure I had my twine still up from during my auto flowers and utilized a few of those hanging from the ceiling to get a couple extra hangers in.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed!

Did some cuttings on her, found some bugseggs not much It's been raining a lot but she won't be up for very much longer and I still hope for some sunny days😘

ya un poco mas grande, me empiezo a dar cuenta de que el moho volvio. entonces empece a cuestionarme si regaba mal. Efectivamente estaba regando demaciado para la planta

Can’t wait to harvest 🤤

They are all showing preflower and chugging along nicely.

Day 95 harvest of last 2 of 4 plants. 10 days after first two were harvested. BB1 and GG1 seem to have denser buds than BB2 and GG2. I think the yield will be greater also. First two plants dried for 6 days at 45-50 RH and 65-70F and put into quart Mason jars with humidity meters and pouches at 62 RH. Once second two have dried, will update dry weight for all 4 plants in Harvest week.

2/11/24 - Day 96 - Water change day!!! Everything is still going great. I'm just waiting on her to tell me what to do. Her leaves are just now starting to lighten up just a tad. The Trichomes are still a mix bag but mostly clear, with less then half cloudy and maybe 1% amber, maybe. So there is still some time. Keep in mind im going to flush her with just water for about a week. So whatever week i choose to start that there will be atleast one week left. 2/12/24 - Day 97 - She's FINALLY showing signs of the end! The leafs are starting to turn a light green. Soon a lot of the leaves will start to turn yellow. I'll check the Trichomes one more time and then we will start the flush. 2/14/24 - Day 100 - We are getting close, today is day 100 of the life cycle. In a week or two she will be coming down!

This plant was one of my favorites to date, it was a perfect grow. She was so easy, she never showed any bad signs on her leaves, always was super happy. I accidentally topped her at about her 4th week or so when I was inducing LST on her. Didn’t even phase her whatsoever, she just branches off and did her own thing, I got her under a screen and the magic started happening, she bubbles up and came out with an crazy amount of flowering points. The amount of flowers she showed and then the color she showed during her fade weeks was unreal, her colors reminded me of something you’d see during fall season when leaves are changing outside. Super colorful and extremely sticky. I had to change my gloves and clean my scissors every few branches, a problem I never mind having. This is one of my top plants I’ve grown today, with the color and the size of the nugs it was a flawless grow. I tooted my own horn on this one to myself. 5 ounces is a stellar result and I’ll take that on any grow. I couldn’t recommend this strain enough and will definitely be in future grows for sure. Thanks for stopping by growmies, I hope to see you in my future diaries!
